I ran across news accounts that Bill Gates (of the Microsoft empire), David Rockefeller (bank and oil baron), the United Nations, in cooperation with Northrup-King (the seed giant), and Archer/Daniels/Midland, or ADM, the corporate farming/chemical/seed giant were funding a “saving heirloom seeds” program for “posterity.” The seeds were collected at considerable expense, and were stored in an enormous concrete vault drilled out of the rock and ice in Antarctica. Something that would survive nuclear war, a meteor impact event, global warming, global ice age (take your pick) or almost any other event. Just in case of disaster, they tell us. I think we’re supposed to believe they’d stand outside the blast doors and hand out seed to the poor starving survivors at no charge or something.

Interesting. Much of the same crowd is also hysterical about the non-existent threat of supposed man-made ‘global warming’ too, though the real danger there lies in the horribly destructive, totalitarian, and expensive “cures” they propose for that false science and conclusion. I think they should return to their guru Paul Erlichs FIRST failed model, which sparked his 1960’s paranoid book “Population Bomb” about the global ICE AGE which would wipe us out and our food supplies by the late 70’s or early 80’s. Oooops. At least that would be easier to sell given global temperature trends now.

Then there is the same kind of growing childish denial and recrimination/retribution against genuine scientists by this same little group of self-appointed “experts” against honest scientists who have uncovered the obvious evidence of intelligent design. Perhaps it is the parallel exposure of the humanist model and the abject failure of Darwin’s theory of evolution that upsets them most. They’ve even turned to embracing outer space aliens as a likely source of life on earth. Anything rather than acknowledging the possibility of God - particularly in light of advances in genetic knowledge of DNA and the function of cells. Now THAT’S out there a ways...

 The level of paranoia on these issues is amusing. Now we are afraid there won’t be any seeds. Isn’t this the crowd that claimed the Birchers were paranoid?

They seem just a bit unstable and overzealous. Or is there another, less obvious agenda? Back to food.
